Research Topic

My research problem deals with estimation of forest carbon using Compact Polarimetric SAR Interferometry(CP-PolInSAR). There is evidence on alarming increase in greenhouse gases (GHG) due to the anthropogenic activities. As CO2 is an important and major contributor of GHG it is essential to understand the process of carbon cycle in detail. Evolution of Interferometric and Polarimetric SAR technique have given a new dimension for estimating structural properties of various tree species even under severe weather conditions. In this research we try to examine the capability of CP-PolInSAR in estimating the biophysical parameters of tree and monitoring carbon stock in terrestrial environment.
